I've had IBS-Diverticulitus now going on 10+ years. I was taking 2-4 Imodium to get through the day and in the last few months 10-16. The doctor said he would not suggest it but he didn't think it would hurt me in the long run.

Leaving the house is the worst part of my day, only get few blocks from home and have to come back to the bathroom :( Always looking for a bathroom and hoping nobody is in there because i might lose it.

I changed my diet cut out milk-dairy started eating fruits and veggies,even bought a juicer and began juicing.
taking fiber -Metamucil

The more I don't eat the more it feels like acid in the gut cramps all the time and when I am feeling good as soon as I walk out the door.

I get the rumbly in the tumbly if you know what i mean.
I know i'm not the only one with this problem and for anyone who has it i feel sorry for you. I wouldn't even wish this on my worst enemy. To make matters worse I'm a truck driver at night when everything is closed.

Funny thing is I've never been late to work in past 18 years i just deal with it day after day after day
and now i think i have found the end of my rope,want to just let go and die cause i know wouldn't have to feel like this anymore.

No I'm not going to end it I just feel like I want too.
So for everyone who knows what we are going through I just want you to know your not alone.
